Timed to run in July each year, the Tour de Staveley had its 12th edition in 2018 and is a fantastic way to celebrate the Tour de France in the beautiful Lake District.

Starting and finishing in Mill Yard, Staveley, there are 2 road courses, offering great views and some challenging climbs, with after-race food provided by Wilfs Café. We also screen the days racing from the Tour de France.

Our annual Tour de Staveley social sportive took place on Saturday 14 July and we welcomed 250 riders for a choice of two stunning routes around the lanes of the south Lakes. For 2018 we partnered with Kendal CC and all proceeds from the event have been donated to their nominated charity – Wheels for All. We’d like to say a huge thanks to all of the riders, marshals, volunteers, Wilf’s Cafe, Hawkshead Brewery and of course Kendal CC.
